Hard to cut notches in those steel grips.

there is a little difference in price, besides, if it's just a .22 who cares if it's all steel? it could be made of high density plastic and manage the pressures/recoil just fine as long as the barrel was steel.
I could never figure the point of the SMA other than very early training (probably before live ammo is use at all)
The new pistol is almost an exact replica of the original 1911, just smaller.
The new Browning 1911-22 is proudly made in the USA. Guns shipped in 2011 will include a special first year of production collector's certificate plus a free limited edition commemorative canvas and leather zippered pistol case.
So; How much smaller?

Got service models as well as original ACE with no floating chamber Karts days Marval and GSG. DONT want a CHIPPA I just want one of the Brownings reminds me of a Bear-Cat in relationship Black Hawk. I just hope slide is not aluminum with what looks like a steel insert held in place by Cross pins as what it looks like in Picture. Aluminum slide on aluminum frame[V][:(]very short Life span[:(]
thats exactly what it is...it would probably still hold up to .22 LR but who cares?. I totally agree with the Bearcat comparison.
I doubt this was meant to shoot at all and it makes me wonder why Browning doesn't build a regular 1911 from John M's original design. certainly, the patent is expired by now? Did Browning make a deal that he would never build his own when he sold the patent to Colt?
The 22 versions of many guns seem to be the rage these days from Ar-15's, Sigs 556 and even 1918's (yeah I saw one at a gun show)
I guess it isn't new I have a colt peacemaker and a new frontier in .22/22mag.
